no politician is stopping you from being creative.

These Coy are owned by private individuals not governments


But governments owe their citizens a duty to provide an enabling environment where creativity will thrive. Volvo is a Swedish company and you are quite right that it is privately owned, but do you know how much the Swedish Government gives as grants to Science and Tech entrepreneurs each year? They give billions. In this country they can't even give 4 hours electricity out of 24 hours in a day, not to talk of encouraging the growth of Science and Tech.
We live in a country where the current administration budgeted more money for building cattle colonies than it did for the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Volvo has unveiled its self-driving and cabless truck (with no passenger compartment) called Vera .The concept truck can be attached to any standard trailers.

It is designed to carry containers weighing up to 32 tons (~29,000kg) across large manufacturing and shipping ports.

With no human driver and compartment , the truck is controlled and monitored through a wireless network service.





Volvo says:
"The transport control center continuously monitors the progress of the transport and keeps an accurate watch of each vehicle's position, the batteries' charge, load content, service requirements, and a number of other parameters"

This futuristic truck from the world's second-biggest truck maker is aimed to make the process of moving large goods more efficient, safer and cleaner.

What do you think?
